DAY 37 WITH THE SON

I'm taking the 40 days leading up the Christmas to focus on the life of Jesus and do a mini-reflection and devotion. I'm following along with Liza on her special blog called 40 Days with the Son, based on the Max Lucado book 3:16.

Here is how to join us in reflection of the spirit of this upcoming holiday season.

IT'S ALRIGHT TO DREAM AGAIN: "As the new day was dawning..."- Matthew 28:1 (NLT)

I can't even begin to fathom the emotions of the 2 Mary's after Jesus had died on the Cross. I don't believe they were expecting him to disappear from his tomb, much less be resurrected and walk among them. I wonder if, when the found the tomb empty, it all immediately clicked. Did they stand around a while scratching their heads and wondering what the heck is going on ? I guess so, because the Angel had to explain the situation. How I wish angels would come to me and explain the many situations I often don't understand. I also personally like that it was women who discovered the empty tomb, and it was women whom the angel brought the message of the Resurrection.

GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Gifts are (mostly) wrapped and we're going to start the first round of exchanged tonight with Dad & Company (the kids and Brenda).
